Brazil Buzz! investment advice guides news about property in Brazil. Overseas property expert Nicholas Marr and his team answers questions from intermational real estate investors
It seems to me that Brazilian real estate ticks all the right boxes for investors seeking medium to long term investment. Gone now it appears are the quick buck merchants who can threaten an economy so all we need now is the cherry on the top of the cake more flights from UK and Europe.
Flying to major cities such as Fortaleza in the North East is still a pain with holiday flights available only a few months of the year. The rest are flights via Lisbon , unless i have been mistaken getting to see your Brazilian Property Investment as a UK investor is relatively difficult.
Cheap travel to Brazil is difficult. TAP flies via Lisbon and is worth checking the website as the price occasionally drops by 10%-20%. Thomson has a charter to Natal from Gatwick, but it doesn't show up on its website; if you persevere on the phone, you'll probably get the best price you are going to get.
Here is a video where you can see that the Brazilian government are trying to address the problem with Delta Airlines
I have an answer written by Steven Glazer a property agent based in Brazil Fortaleza his web site is at Port of the Sun.com he states:
“Yes, we DO know the history and we have memorized ALL the data:There is NO history of this kind.There has never been any meteorological or seismic activity of this kind.There never has been a hurricane reported in all the time that records have been kept, much less a tsunami.There are no extreme weather conditions of any kind, unless you want to include relentlessly, oppressively, beautiful weather year ‘round.
About the biggest concern for extreme weather conditions at 3°47” South of the Equator-that would be roughly 200 miles-is the very high ultraviolet index, at 13, on a scale of 1 to 16.Fair-skinned Caucasians can tolerate no more than 5 minutes of unprotected exposure.A sun block with a Sun Protection Factor of 50 will therefore allow 250 minutes of exposure that would otherwise result in a painful sunburn after just 5 minutes.So stock up. Better yet, keep your shirt on.It’s no joke-this is the equator.
Apart from that, extreme natural phenomenon of any kind are unheard of.There has never been a report of a shark attack, for example.There may have been unreported attacks, but it seems unlikely as all the beach activities are concentrated in a few popular places and those are heavily frequented by foreign tourists, such as Cumbuco.It seems unlikely that an incident would go unnoticed and unreported.
In fact, and you may find it hard to believe, but there are no flies or mosquitoes the vast majority of the time on the beach front in and around Fortaleza.Best of all, there are virtually NO BAD HAIR DAYS!
The fact is that a climate that gives 365 days of sunshine has got to be a good thing not only as an investor seeking to maximise income from holiday rental property but as a visitor you cant beat guaranteed sunshine!"
